Red Sox activated INF Josh Rutledge from the 10-day disabled list.

Rutledge will replace the injured Pablo Sandoval (knee) on the active roster and figures to share playing time at third base in the coming days. The 28-year-old went 1-for-12 with a homer over five rehab games while working his way back from a left hamstring strain. Tue, Apr 25, 2017 12:15:00 PM

Josh Rutledge (hamstring) has shifted his minor league rehab assignment to Double-A Portland.

Rutledge was with Triple-A Pawtucket, but they are off on Monday. Assuming all goes well, he could be ready to join the Red Sox in the next day or two. The 28-year-old began the year on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain. Mon, Apr 24, 2017 12:34:00 PM

Depth Charts

Pablo Sandoval (knee) is out of the lineup at Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday due to illness.

That will delay his return to the Red Sox active roster by a couple of days. Sandoval needs to play back-to-back minor league games before the club considers activating him off the disabled list. He's been out since April 24 because of a right knee strain.

Brock Holt (vertigo) will visit a specialist in Pittsburgh sometime this week.

Holt continues to experience vertigo symptoms and has officially been pulled off his minor league rehab assignment. The utilityman has been on the disabled list since April 21 and remains out indefinitely.

David Price (elbow) will make another minor league rehab start with Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday.

Price was only able to navigate two innings in his first start on Friday, and the club would like him a bit more stretched out before he's inserted back in the big league rotation. If all goes well with Wednesday's start, he could make his season debut with the Red Sox the following week.

The Red Sox needed to clear a spot for tonight's starting pitcher, Hector Velazquez, on the 40-man roster. Wright underwent season-ending knee surgery earlier this month. He got beat up this year, turning in a miserable 8.25 ERA over five starts. The knuckleballer hasn't looked the same since injuring himself in a pinch-running appearance last summer.

Thornburg felt more discomfort and fatigue in his right shoulder while trying to throw in recent days. There should be more clarity on his status after his doctor visits this week, but he's obviously a long ways off from joining Boston's bullpen.

Smith hit a snag in his recovery from Tommy John surgery late last month, but it appears the 27-year-old reliever is back on the right track. If all goes well from here, he could be an option for the Boston bullpen around late May or early June. Smith has not appeared in a game for the Red Sox since they acquired him from the Mariners in December 2015.
